CLEAVAGE
by Chris Tysh
“The Cleavage of enjambment startles, where risen suddenly rhymes with linen. Its compass stripped bare, Chris Tysh’s pulp theory becomes poetry noir. Twenty-six titles, “proper” nouns accord with “improper” improprieties inappropriately appropriate, whose heart rhymes with struggle. The material word challenges the metaphorical, mimetic world. The alphabet has never (been) played like this.”
